It's a Stiff record, so Nick's probably all over the place on it.
Personally, I think Nick's a genius producer in that I can usually
hear each instrument clearly, nothing overpowers anything else, and
the production's absolutely transparent.  There's a lot of producers
(Steve Lillywhite and Mitch Froom spring to mind) that have an
individual "sound" to 'em.  I can often pick them out before I even
know they produced something.  Nick stays out of the way and lets the
band sound like themselves.

A must-have set - the 4 CD box of The Stiff Story.
